It’s going to take awhile for things to go back to “normal,” but there sure are a lot of kindhearted people in Malibu who are working toward speeding up that process.

This week, we highlighted various efforts to aid Malibu fire victims, and many are ongoing and upcoming, too. Meanwhile, some equally nourishing traditions are marching on, such as Malibu’s Woodie Parade.

Meanwhile, the City’s disaster resource center at the Malibu Courthouse (23525 Civic Center Way) is expected to continue to operate through the end of the year and up until mid-January, depending on demand. Anyone who has not been to the center is encouraged to go, as it’s a convenient outlet for anyone impacted by the fire.

This week, the center can be visited from 10 a.m.-8 p.m. daily through Saturday, Dec. 8. It is closed on Sundays.

Meanwhile, anyone with disabilities and/or access and functional needs may call 211 LA County, a toll-free, 24-hour number, for emergency preparedness information and other referral services. Services also can be accessed by visiting www.211la.org.
